Despite the statement made by Konrad Henlein, leader of the German National Socialist Party in Czechoslovakia, during his recent visit in London that his party was not anti-Semitic, the anti-Jewish boycott movement in the German districts of Czechoslovakia is growing in intensity and is causing great concern among the Jews.
Recently a leaflet of the German National Socialist Party, calling on the Germans to buy only from Germans, found wide distribution in Marienbad. In Karlsbad, too, and in other districts of the Eger province the anti-Jewish boycott propaganda is daily assuming greater proportions.
In Karlsbad a paper entitled “Leader,” issued by the German National Socialist Party, recently made its appearance with the aim of influencing the German population to patronise only shopkeepers, doctors, dentists and others who are members of the German National Socialist Party.
In Eger young German National Socialist agitators distributed leaflets in front of a restaurant, where a lecture on Palestine was being delivered, in which the statement was made that it is high time the Jews were treated in Czechoslovakia as they were being treated in Hitler Germany.
Karlsbad Jewish inhabitants also receive regularly a replica of a railway ticket with the inscription: “Free passage to Palestine, but no return journey.”
